Transfer Students

<p>I'm currently a freshman at NYU, doing Pre-Med in CAS.; now I'm certain I want to switch to Finance. I could apply to Stern, but I'm scared to hell that I won't get in and that I'll rot in pre-med forever.</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>High School GPA: OK (3.1 something)
First Sem GPA: 3.7~3.9
I'm sure I'm hitting a 3.8~4.0 next semester.
SAT: 2100
SAT II and AP - I only took bio (750, 4)</p>

<p>I love NYU and everything in the city, but I don't think I'll get into Stern purely because of my high-school record. I can write a fairly awesome essay though...</p>

<p>Transfer is probably my only option. I don't know what I can get into, and I'd love it if you could help me out. Just a couple of names that I can try for...I'm don't think I'm good enough for Michigan...But If you think I should try for Stern, drop that in too please.</p>

<p>you got into CAs with a 3.1?</p>

<p>Why not take an elective with Stern? Do amazing and get the prof to write you an awesome recommendation. I think they would let you in being from NYU already. WOW CAS with a 3.1. Your essay skills must be amazing.</p>

<p>I got into CAS with a 3.1 on an Indian Curriculum...When you curve up, its the equivalent of a 3.8 on IB.</p>

<p>A course "Pre-Business" is offered in CAS and has some Stern classes...but that isn't very good I've heard.</p>

<p>In any case, what other colleges should I 'safe'?</p>

<p>Bump. I'm stressed.</p>

<p>If you really like NYU and the city then i would just apply to stern and if you don't get in just switch to economics in CAS.</p>

<p>I second Trojans comment. Economics from CAS won't be as good as finance from Stern for jobs, but if you do the legwork and maintain a good GPA you'll be able to get into the door at more than a few places.</p>

<p>I think I will. But still, any other good business colleges that might accept me?</p>
